From the New York Times (an editorial):
Quote:Anyone who has ever fallen under Hong Kong’s exotic spell in recent years knows how taking a deep breath can make the magic disappear. The air throughout Hong Kong’s tropical landscape has grown steadily more polluted – tainted by dark, unhealthy clouds from power plants, traffic and underregulated smokestacks from the Chinese mainland.
Hong Kong’s average air pollution levels can be so high – double or even triple the World Health Organization limit – that some analysts estimate the air contributes to an extra 2,000 deaths a year. Leaders in Beijing and Hong Kong have repeatedly promised to cut down on environmental toxins in the air, land and water.
…
Such departures have finally begun to raise concerns in Hong Kong’s business community. The local Chamber of Commerce issued an urgent request for the government to commit to “genuine reductions in air pollution” after it found that “an alarming 95 percent” of executives interviewed were worried or very worried about air quality and its effects on their health. But in a disheartening development this week, Hong Kong’s chief executive, Donald Tsang, missed yet another opportunity to lay out a workable plan for clearing the air quickly.
This is not a hopeless situation, as leaders in Mexico City could attest. Once a place where residents courted asthma with every step outside, Mexico City approved what is generally regarded as one of the best and most comprehensive approaches to air pollution in 1990. The measures included everything from new fuel composition standards to new emission standards for vehicles. As a result, Mexico City halved some forms of air pollution in only five years. If Hong Kong even committed to cutting its pollution in half, that would be a good start.Hi:
Several possibilities I think. Tho I dunno about leashes; don’t have dog.
Just a few ideas:
Dragon’s Back – where can also walk a contour path along west slopes (easier than the ridge). Can park near the trail start above To Tei Wan. Shek O area or Deep Water Bay afterwards?
Peak area – circuit, Victoria Peak Garden; High West to add a bit of exercise. Down Pokfulam Road to Pokfulam (but, need to return to car!)
Clear Water Bay area perhaps, inc High Junk Peak Country Trail (much of which pretty easy – doesn’t climb peak itself).
On weekdays, maybe roads up to ridge near Kowloon Peak; tho I’m not so sure re parking up there.
Pak Tam Chung, nr Sai Kung; again weekdays (as less people out) – the nature trail, to Sheung Yiu, and maybe along the family or country trail.
Catchwater along north slopes of Lion Rock.
Shing Mun Reservoir – Pineapple Dam Nature Trail, and maybe more walking on after that, looping back to Pineapple Dam.
Hope this helps. Maybe others will have more ideas.
Let us know if you find any great routes!

Hi Jimmy:
Glad the info helped you have a good day.
“mail and trail” – even googling that, came up w little success.
But yes, maybe in time I’ll see about linking to map etc.
Tho forthcoming “green guide” from HK Tourism Board I helped write should include Cheung Chau, briefly, with map.Martin
Soon after I took the above, a slow ferry chugged out from Cheung Chau, adding its own contribution to the grime in the sky.
So much for hopes the Golden Week Holiday may mean clearer air, as factories maybe closing on mainland. And, so much for Action Blue Sky – no word from Donald T and the project team about the whitish skies prevailing at present. Again a shot from Cheung Chau (today); have to look up high to see almost decent blue. And as for seeing Lantau Peak through the murk – well, another day, such as in summer…
Shot here from Cheung Chau today – looks like there are few clouds above us (certainly nothing evident on satellite images), and yet the sky isn’t blue, but greyish-white, with the only blue just visible right overhead. HK Observatory mentions "some haze" yet, curiously, their haze icon not showing today, or in 7-day forecast: just a sun icon for today.
2 October 2006 at 6:56 pm in reply to: Soko Islands will be harmed by ExxonMobil-CLP LNG terminal #7845Taken me some time, but after an email request from Living Island Movement, I’ve at last sent emails to various HK govt departments regarding the Soko Islands.
Sent the following to (and here, I’ve amended email addresses so hopefully spammers’ robots won’t read):
Environmental Protection Department – Dr. Mike Chui , Director of EPD (Actg) – enquiry AT epd.gov.hk
Economic Development and Labour Bureau – Stephen IP GBS JP, Secretary for… edb At edlb.gov.hk
Environment Transport and Works Bureau – Dr. Sarah Liao JP, Secretary for …. etwbenq AT etwb.gov.hk
Advisory Council on the Environment – Professor LAM Kin-che, Chairman of … etwbenq AT etwb.gov.hk
LegCo Environmental Affairs Panel – Hon. CHOY So-yuk, Chairman of… sychoy AT pacific.net.hk
LegCo Planning Lands and Works Panel – Hon. Patrick Lau Sau-shing SBS JP, Deputy Chairman of… patricklau AT gmail.com– maybe you can send similar.
I am writing to express my concern re the possible LNG terminal on the Soko Islands.
As I am sure you are aware, this may benefit CLP for a few years, but would otherwise be a retrograde step for Hong Kong. (Has anyone calculated how much it would cost to restore the Sokos once the terminal is finished with? Such costs should be borne by CLP, and should be factored into any benefit analyses.)
As the attached photo indicates, the Soko Islands are highly attractive. I took it a few years ago – and the low buildings of the Tai A Chau detention centre are visible, indicating that an LNG terminal would significantly blight the landscape.Instead, I believe the Sokos should be retained as one of our few (two?) remaining clusters of relatively wild islets that are well worth visiting for hiking, enjoying beaches and scenery etc. Further, I believe the marine park should be established.
Over time, such measures would make the Sokos valuable to Hong Kong, in part as a destination for local people, and – potentially – for overseas visitors.Yours sincerely,

After hitting Luzon, including Manila – and causing at least 16 deaths, Xangsane now over the South China Sea, and set to intensify a little, head west – on towards Vietnam, and perhaps even crossing north Thailand as a tropical storm, judging by MIT’s page on tropical storms. News items include, from BBC:
Philippine typhoon toll increases At least 16 people are now known to have died in the latest typhoon to hit the Philippines. – including a quote: It was "one of the worst devastations that Manila has experienced," the city’s Mayor, Lito Atienza, told local radio on Friday. Here in Hong Kong, Observatory predicting that combined effects of Xangsane and northeast monsoon will result in windy weekend – winds could reach force 7 in some places tomorrow (Saturday).
Only rain patches though, so windsurfers and kitesurfers could have fun, while those landlubbers amongst us could have fun watching surf pound rocky coasts such as Shek O headland. – a day later, more news from Philippines, inc:
Quote:The death toll from a powerful typhoon that cut across the northern Philippines rose Friday to at least 62, with dozens of people missing in floods and landslides, officials said.North Thailand now preparing, especially for floods:

Back in late July, the Hong Kong Government announced the Action Blue Sky campaign, with the natty English slogan “Clean Air for a Cool Hong Kong” (which means what, exactly, in this sub-tropical locale? – if the air is cleaner, will we move towards the Arctic? Or maybe we’ll be much more laid back, just like, wow, man, so coool).
Reading info on the campaign, seems there’s plenty of talk – trying to persuade various people that reducing pollution is a good idea. But precious little action.
Lately seen report re Advisory Committee on the Environment meeting, and fudging n dilly-dallying over new Air Quality Objectives.Small wonder then that, as get return of northeast monsoon, also get return of skies that too often aren’t blue, but greyish-white. Bleah!
MIT’s Tropical Cyclone Track and Intensity Forecasts and Guidance has forecasts from several places, which all agree Xangsane heading for Vietnam – so not likely to have much impact here. Maybe not becoming a major storm, as it appeared ECMWF once forecast.
– ECMWF guys now have new crystal ball, it appears, as now forecasting up to 10 days in advance. And the system east of Philippines, they reckon, could become big, but turning north over Pacific.Another forecast from ECMWF now out; has Xangsane apporaching Vietnam on 3 Oct. And, that day, another system forming to east of Philippines (in a location where could enter S China Sea, could head north towards Japan). So, some trop storm action in west Pacific, after a lull.
The system’s now a tropical depression, and has a name: Xangsane (and rather quickly upgraded by HK Obs to tropical storm)
Latest from ECMWF has it passing well south of Hong Kong, and looking set to slam Vietnam by around 3 Oct (their free forecasts only available, just now, to 2 Oct – evening for us).
– so may not ruin the weekend/holiday, but early days yet
(and a forecast track I saw late yesterday, via weather underground, had it coming v close, landing not far west of Macau)HK Observatory looks to be anticipating some impacts: 7-day forecast has “cloudy with scattered showers” for Sunday and Monday, with force 5 easterly or northeasterly winds.
– bulletin updated at 11.32am now has winds to force 6 offshore and on high ground (such as a certain cable car route…) for Sunday and Monday.Post edited by: Martin, at: 2006/09/26 11:54
ECMWF now has storm moving roughly westwards – on path that could take it south of Hong Kong, towards Hainan/Vietnam. Looks like a major storm is forecast – this is forecast for 2 October; even at distance, could make for windy start to October – while if storm like this comes close…
23 September 2006 at 12:20 am in reply to: Soko Islands will be harmed by ExxonMobil-CLP LNG terminal #7844WWF expresses serious concerns on CLP’s LNG Terminal EIA procedure
and the future of the Chinese White Dolphin (21 September 2006)WWF considers that CLP is attempting to sabotage public debate and the decision-making process on its proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) Terminal because the company has stated a firm preference for the Soko’s site before the government has completed its examination of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), and after only releasing highly selectively information to the public.
CLP revealed its preference on site location to the public three weeks ago without fully considering other viable site options for its LNG Terminal. CLP has refused to release the draft EIA preventing anyone from properly considering the impacts of the two sites in the EIA or what other options were considered.
“This is a deliberate attempt by CLP to prejudice the decision-making process by stating its preference while controlling the information which has violated fundamental principles of the EIA public consultation process ,” stated Mr Eric Bohm, CEO, WWF Hong Kong.
In the Study Brief issued by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD), outlining the requirements of the EIA, CLP was required to compare the environmental merits and demerits of the Soko and Black Point option with other options.
“CLP should provide clear and objective comparisons on the Pros and Cons for all other possible LNG sources, including other alternative LNG supplies. Despite the efforts by EPD in recent years to encourage the project proponents to allow continuous public participation in the EIA process from initial planning through to final design, CLP has decided to release selective and piecemeal information,” said Dr Alan Leung, Senior Conservation Officer, WWF Hong Kong. “By doing so they are deliberately biasing the public debate on this important infrastructure project in an environmentally sensitive area which could have ramifications for decades to come.” WWF has written to CLP several times to request that the whole draft EIA be released, as has been done for some recent government projects recently, but the response so far has been negative.
CLP’s stated preference as of the 1 st September is to build a terminal on the South Soko Island, with its surrounding waters endorsed as a Marine Park in 2002. The areas have been identified as important fishery spawning and nursery grounds. The Sokos waters are also unique being the only location where the Chinese white dolphin and the Finless porpoise co-occur in local waters. The proposed gas pipeline associated with the Soko option will also cut through the prime habitat of the Chinese white dolphin near the Sha Chau and Lung Kwu Chau Marine Park and another Marine Park proposed for Southwest Lantau. Unbelievably, the information released to the public by CLP to date comparing the Black Point and Soko sites makes no mention of the marine mammals found at the Sokos.
“WWF is extremely concerned by the Government’s casual dis regard to the continuous and cumulative encroachment from large scale developments within the marine areas inhabited by the only two residential marine mammals in Hong Kong. Over the past 10 years, more than 10 projects with over 1,700 ha of the sea area have been reclaimed. Reclamation has not just caused a direct loss of these mammals’ habitats, it also removes habitat for the fish on which the dolphins feed,” continued Dr Leung.
Endless past, present and future works on dredging, dumping, facilities installation, and pollution not only pose threats to the dolphins and the porpoises, but the whole marine environment, and have contributed to our declining fishing industry. Although the dolphin and the porpoise population is holding up at the moment, we worry that these magnificent animals will not be able to withstand unlimited and on-going developments, such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge and the Container Terminal 10 near Tai O.
“WWF is calling on the Hong Kong public to support the only two warm-blooded resident marine animals by demanding the Government cease this casual disregard for the areas in which they live. While WWF does support the move towards greener fuels like natural gas for power generation, we cannot accept the trade off to the Soko Islands and the dolphins and porpoise while other options are available” stated Mr Bohm.
